 |
|
Hello, and please accept my apologies for my total ignorance...
I installed Sakaki's binary image of gentoo on a Raspberry Pi 4 successfully, but I'm having trouble adding some needed software. I used "porthole" to do a sync and an upgrade, and rebooted, then tried to add the "SciTE" editor with this command:
This gives me the following output,:
| Quote: |
Local copy of remote index is up-to-date and will be used.
* IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
* See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
* sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N *] app-editors/scite-4.2.0 USE="-lua"
The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by scite (argument)
=app-editors/scite-4.2.0 **
NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.
Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes,
paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose
experimental or unstable packages.
|
I don't even know where to begin to understand this stuff, let alone how to fix it. I gather that I'm supposed to do something to "package.accept_keywords", but I don't know what or where.
So my questions are:
- How do I install the "SciTE" program?
- Should I emerge "=app-editors/scite-4.2.0" instead of "scite"?
- Iis "--autounmask-write" supposed to fix things somehow?
- Where do I go / what do I do to understand this stuff, in small easily digestible bites?
Thanks, -bobmon |

bobmon,
Welcome to Gentoo and arm64.
A good read is Working with Portage
Its all good but you need sections 12 and 13 right now.
| Code: | | (see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details) |
is worth a read too.
man pages in general do not tell you how to do what you want to do. They are references that tell what a command does.
If you are lucky there might be an example that covers your use case.
| Code: |
* IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
* See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
* sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N *] app-editors/scite-4.2.0 USE="-lua"
The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by scite (argument)
=app-editors/scite-4.2.0 ** |
| Code: | | * IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating. |
really is important.
Read the man page.
That says that portage has worked out that means app-editors/scite, so far so good.
The last line says that portage would like to install app-editors/scite-4.2.0 but is not allowed to as its not keyworded for arm64 or ~arm64.
Reading the ebuild
| /usr/portage/app-editors/scite/scite-4.2.0.ebuild: |
KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ppc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd ~amd64-linux ~arm-linux ~x86-linux" |
we see that arm64 is not mentioned.
This means that the package is not yet tested on arm64. That's not the same as does not work, it means that nobody knows.
While I've been writing this, I've built app-editors/scite-4.2.0 on arm64, so we now know it builds.
Its in my binhost under the gcc-9.x
-- edit --
Ignorance is fine here. We all enjoy fixing that in one another. :)
We all remember getting started.
